Methodological clarity
Separate direct observations, operational reference frames, and later computational corrections.
About Scott Stubbs
Research before rhetoric.
Scott Stubbs is an independent researcher and author developing the Planar Earth framework through source review, model comparison, and applied technical analysis.
Biography
Planar Earth is a formal reinterpretation of the Earth’s measurable geometry as a flat, stationary topographical framework intended to refine how empirical observation, measurement, and modeling interact within the sciences. By distinguishing itself from archaic flat-earth traditions, the Planar Earth framework recenters the planar assumption as an initial condition for testing, modeling, and verification rather than as a belief about ultimate cosmology.

Mission & method
A formal framework for testing measurable geometry.
The project asks where planar assumptions enter technical practice, where global corrections are added, and what each model contributes to the final output.
Primary sources
Work from technical reports, public datasets, official documentation, and reproducible procedures.
Model comparison
Compare planar and spherical assumptions openly instead of treating either as an invisible starting point.
Research timeline
From foundational thesis to an applied archive.
The timeline traces the Planar Earth thesis and the applied studies that followed.
Foundation
Planar Earth Version 4.3
The earlier forty-page thesis established Planar Earth as a methodological framework for testing measurable geometry.
2026
Planar Earth Version 4.31
The revised thesis formalized a model-comparison program spanning surveying, engineering, navigation, hydrography, LiDAR, and geomatics.
2026
Applied reference-frame studies
The public archive expanded into local tangent frames, aviation, radar, remote sensing, balloon telemetry, electromagnetic propagation, and celestial navigation.
Current archive
Eighteen publicly listed papers
True Earth Cosmology now brings the verified research record into one searchable and maintainable publication.
